Juncos getting ready to migrate north...

One of my favourite backyard birds, at the feeders in winter, is the Dark-eyed Junco.   These specials creatures are getting ready to leave and head north to their summer breeding grounds.   Depending on where in North America they start their migration will dictate the timing of their departure.   They can head north anytime between mid-March and the end of April.   I'll hate to see these brave winter warriors leave.   Their singing is often not noticed but they have a musical trilling sound with a tinkling quality, plus a soft twittering.   Charming, indeed, to its listeners.
